It’s all about luxury being a style type rather than by the brands you buy. And although labels such as The Row, Khaite and Tove illustrate the fuss-free aesthetic to perfection, the look can easily be put together by investing in key expensive-looking pieces. With this in mind, I headed to the high street to try out all the new season pieces that are made from more premium fabrics, have could-be-designer detailing or just have the desired silhouette of a more expensive looking item that’ll work hard in your wardrobe.
I’ve put quiet luxury outfits together from some of my favourite high street brands—including COS, Arket, Zara and Mango—and reviewed each of the key items for autumn. And for reference, I’m a size 10 and 5’4.5″ (the half an inch matters), so you know for sizing.
